This first complete critical edition of the works of Stephen Foster (1826-1864) includes reproductions of not only Foster's songs, but also his children's hymns, piano pieces, and instrumental music--the full range of his compositional activity. The compositions appear in the order Foster wrote them. A critical report by the editors accompanies every piece, and introductory chapters discuss the composer's place in American cultural history, the sources for the edition, performing the music, and musical style.
